About Daimeera
Hello there!
I'm a 21 year old female from Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm not as active on this site as I once was, but I will almost certainly reply to private questions sent to me.
Let's see, about me. I've been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Clinical Depression, as well as some other related mental and physical illnesses. Despite this, I'm happier now than I can ever remember being.
I've been a vegan since August 2007. In other words, I do my best not to consume anything of animal origin, ranging from the obvious (meat), to the somewhat obvious (eggs and dairy), to the not-so-obvious (honey, wool, silk, and more). I love this life. I have so much more appreciation for everything and everyone around me, and I feel so at peace with myself and the world. I wake up everyday and know that I'm making a difference. It's been a huge turning point in my life.
I recently graduated from high school after an extra three years due to my illness. It was a long road, but it felt amazing to walk across that stage. An added bonus was having the 15th highest average (over my high school career) out of 258 students!
I intend to pursue a career in psychology, first obtaining my BA, and then attending graduate school in order to study for my PhD. It's a little daunting at times, but I know it will be worth it. I want to help people, plain and simple. I want to make a difference. I want to change the world. And I believe I can, if only in a small way.
I think that's me in a nutshell. I also enjoy writing, knitting, multiple other artistic endeavors (including drawing, photography, music, and more), web design, and many other things. So, feel free to drop me a message if you think there's something I can help with.
Psst, guess what? I, like everyone else, have my very own message board! You can visit it here.

hey y'all, im writing a persuasive speech called "why you should forward emails?" do you have any really good arguments? or maybe good "persuasive-lines" like "with just on klick you could change a life" or maybe a good introduction.. i was thinking of beginning with a story.. like "PICTURE YOURSELF..BLABLABLA..and you really need money for that operation.. and bla bla bla.. and AOL (or something) has agreed to give you 5 cents evertytime your emails is being forwarded.." you know what i mean? to pull them in and make sure they're really listening by drawing a picture for them at first, making them see it happen to THEMSELVES so they'll be affect?
I just want opinions - so if you've got one! GREAT! and other suggestions would be great too! :D
Well I hate to say it, but no one gives anyone five cents every time an email is forwarded. First of all, it's impossible to track them, second of all, why would they? It doesn't make sense.
The only arguments I can think of are for funny or touching emails. They might brighten someone's day or make them feel special and loved.
Sorry I can't be more help, but the reality is, there aren't many reasons to forward emails unless there's something particularly entertaining about them.
Oh, and for the record? The Bonsai Kitten thing is also a hoax, if you hadn't been aware of that.
snopes.com is a good place to check the validity of forwarded emails, as well as other urban legends.
